A decorative pattern of horizontal wavy lines fills the background of the half-circle field. The legend 'SAMOA' runs vertically along the right border, the denomination '$200' appears at the lower portion of the field, and the date range '1999 - 2000' is inscribed along the upper arc. |

Issued to mark the millennium, this coin was part of a broader Pacific commemorative program that saw several island nations release high-denomination gold pieces in 2000 — many produced in small quantities for collector markets rather than any domestic monetary purpose. Samoa's financial system had no practical use for a 200 Tala gold coin in circulation.
Fr#39 places it within Friedberg's gold coinage listings, confirming its status as a legitimate monetary issue rather than a privately minted fantasy piece — a distinction that matters for this region and period.
